Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

"I'm really not interested in this."

Chen Yuan looked puzzled.

Good guy.

Master Hu Tu is no good. Although it was wrong for Hu Haiwang to form a sworn brotherhood with the Thirty-Six Thieves, this old Deng actually forced his disciple Hu Haiwang to his death.

Look at the Tang Clan, their rules are so strict, yet Xu Xin still survived. Dong Chang also had a chance, but unfortunately, he didn't want to live.

Making him Hutu's disciple would be tantamount to courting death.

He's not even as good as Ghost Hand King. Although Ghost Hand King initially took Li Muxuan in just to compete with him, he eventually genuinely cared for Li Muxuan.

Although there are many scoundrels in the Quanxing sect, there are also quite a few scoundrels in the righteous path. Mad Dog Lü Ci, although he later became that way because of Lü Ren's death, also illustrates a point.

The so-called righteous path does not necessarily mean that all people are good.

"I won't say much about that old schemer Wang Ai. These guys are capable of anything for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Of course, right now he's just a little kid who has a crush on Guan Shihua from the Northeast."

Chen Yuan thought to himself.

"Eh? Alright then, Brother Chen. Anyway, think it over. Cough cough, if you have the chance in the future, you can come to my Shuzi Sect as a guest. I will definitely do my best to be a good host!"

Hu Haiwang looked at Chen Yuan with reluctance and said.

What a pity! If this person could become a disciple of the Art School, his future achievements might be comparable to those of Zhuge Liang. Such talent is simply heaven-defying.

"Alright, Brother Haiwang, it's settled then. I have class tomorrow, so I'll be leaving now!"

Chen Yuan bowed and quickly left.

Damn it!

If we stay here, this guy will probably keep pestering us.

Although Hu Haiwang is a pretty good person, the Shuzi Sect is a bit too overpowered.

It goes without saying that Chen Jinkui stole Wang Ye's Feng Hou Qi Men technique, and Hu Haiwang's master, Master Hu Tu, was no better.

Chapter 173 Zuo Ruotong is here! (First update)

"That brat Haiwang, sending me to the Shuzi Sect, isn't he pushing me into a fire pit?"

Chen Yuan walked for a while, pondering Hu Haiwang's words. Going to the Shuzi Sect was absolutely impossible.

"Young friend, your skills have indeed improved a lot."

Just then, a playful voice came from nearby. A white-haired young man was leaning against a tree, staring at him with a smile.

The visitor was none other than Zuo Ruotong.

"Left Gate Master!? What brings you here?"

Upon seeing Zuo Ruotong, Chen Yuan was immediately taken aback.

Goodness, when did Zuo Ruotong arrive?

Could it be that Zuo Ruotong witnessed their battle with the Gu Masters of the Medicine Immortal Society?

Will his inverted eight directions give him away now?

"I previously took action to eliminate the evil people of the Medicine Immortal Society, but I didn't expect that some of them would slip through the net. Coincidentally, Xiaozhan also released this news, and many disciples from high-ranking families also came together to eliminate the demons."

Although none of my disciples were present this time, I still bear some responsibility for this matter, so I naturally came along with the elders of the other sects to help out.”

Zuo Ruotong smiled and looked Chen Yuan up and down.

This kid is really something else. He never expected that Chen Yuan could defeat an elder of the Medicine Immortal Society all by himself.

Moreover, the methods and techniques used were quite novel to him.

This child has actually combined the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique with other methods; he's certainly got some skill.

However, the "Reversed Eight Directions" technique that the child used before does not seem to be the "Reversed Eight Directions" technique of the Jiyun Society, but rather that of the "Ghost Hand King".

"I see. I was just worried that if we juniors were to deal with the Gu Masters of the Medicine Immortal Society, what if something went wrong? It turns out that the elders of those brothers also secretly followed us."

Chen Yuan scratched his head.

This is in line with Master Zuo's character. Master Zuo not only takes care of his own disciples, but also looks after all the younger generation. This is one of the reasons why many young people in the martial arts world admire Zuo Ruotong.

"Young friend, I wonder who you learned the 'Reversing the Eight Directions' technique from?"

Zuo Ruotong said calmly, but her eyes suddenly narrowed.

He wanted to see if Chen Yuan would tell him the truth.

"To be honest, my skill of 'Reversing Eight Directions' was passed down from Ghost Hand Wang Yaozu. However, I did not become Wang's apprentice; I only learned his technique."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a "sincere" expression.

He knew he couldn't fool Zuo Ruotong, so he might as well tell the truth. Zuo Ruotong had already seen through his little scheme.

Of course, he knew very well that given Zuo Ruotong's "personality," as long as he told the truth, Zuo Ruotong would definitely not make things difficult for him.

“Young friend, you are sincere. It is indeed a pity that Ghost Hand King’s skills have been lost. Besides, since you did not become his apprentice, you have not had much of a connection with Quanxing.”

I'll teach you some techniques; I won't hold back anymore.

Zuo Ruotong smiled warmly.

The child is sincere, so he is relieved.

After all, sincerity is the most important thing between masters and disciples in the Xuanmen school.

However, he still needed to consider taking Chen Yuan into the Third Sect. After all, Wang Yaozu was a demon of the Quanxing Sect. Although the skill of reversing the eight directions was not his own unique skill, Chen Yuan had not become Wang Yaozu's apprentice.

But no matter what, this child is still somewhat connected to the Ghost Hand King.

Once this method is passed on, it signifies a partial master-disciple relationship.

"However, while Ghost Hand King's methods are unparalleled, his morals are flawed. He is not a great villain, but he is not a good person either. This child has a good character. Although he has not been tainted by Quanxing's evil habits, if left unchecked, he may cause some trouble."

"Today, let me teach him some rules of cultivation. As long as he can stay true to himself, even if he learns some techniques from Ghost Hand King, he should be able to control himself when interacting with those people."

Zuo Ruotong pondered to herself.

I've decided to give Chen Yuanxuan, a practitioner of the Xuanmen sect, his first lesson properly.

"Damn it, is Master Zuo going to cripple my cultivation? It shouldn't be that bad. Even when the old Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing tested Zhang Huaiyi, he pretended to cripple him, but actually he was teaching him a more powerful thunder technique."

After all, lightning magic isn't something ordinary disciples can learn. Hmm, could it be that Master Zuo is going to teach me an even more powerful technique? But the Three Ones' Reverse Life is already a fusion of magic and technique; what other changes could it possibly undergo?

Chen Yuan was also completely confused and felt slightly uneasy.

"Young friend, do you know what techniques, methods, and the Way are?"

Zuo Ruotong chuckled.

He also wanted to see how well Chen Yuan understood these things.

"Techniques, methods, and the Way? Techniques should be the means, methods are the ways to cultivate and temper one's life, and as for the Way? It should be the path that cultivators pursue for themselves, right?"

Chen Yuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately replied.

He knew this much; for example, what Master Zuo pursued was the path to heaven, which was the Dao.

Techniques like the fire-setting methods of the Huode Sect, the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, and the Sky-Splitting Palm of Liaodong Sect all belong to this category.

As for the law?

That is the method of cultivating life through the Golden Light Mantra. The mental cultivation methods of Shaolin Temple and the alchemy methods of Quanzhen Temple both belong to this category.

"Indeed, young friend is quite right. The Dharma is the foundation of cultivation. Cultivating both body and mind is fundamental, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or other miscellaneous schools. Improving the foundation of body and mind is the key. Techniques are the outward manifestation of the Dharma. Simply put, the Dharma can cultivate one's essence, while techniques can be put to practical use. For example, the Golden Fire Divine Power of the Fire Virtue Sect, the Thunder Magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and even the Reverse Life Technique of the Three Ones are all considered techniques."

Of course, our Trinity's Reverse Life is a combination of magic and technique. In addition to enhancing life, it is also a means of defeating enemies.

But neither of these is important to a true practitioner. What is most important is the Tao. Buddhism pursues Nirvana, while Taoism pursues ascension to immortality, where all things become one with oneself.

Only by having the Way in one's heart can one avoid being misled by the outside world, and only by being sincere to oneself and to one's Way can one become a true person!

A hint of appreciation flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes as she spoke slowly.

He had assumed that Chen Yuan, having learned from Ghost Hand King, would not have a deep understanding of the path of cultivation, but unexpectedly, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the Dao.

In that case, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Think about Li Muxuan and Lu Jin, these two disciples. They are still ignorant and immersed in magic. They have no concept of the Dao they are pursuing.

In comparison, this child is truly a prodigy.

Most importantly, there was this child's special "true qi," which he couldn't understand before, but today he witnessed the battle between Chen Yuan and the elder of the Medicine Immortal Association.

He also realized the power of this wisp of true qi, which could be easily molded into various shapes. No wonder he was able to enter the realm of reverse life cultivation in an instant.

In other words, this child may not encounter any bottlenecks in cultivating the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage in the future, and may even be able to break through directly to the third stage.

“I doubt anyone else in the Sanyi Sect could learn my Five Elements Divine Transformation technique, but this child can. After all, this child’s Qi can be changed at will. Even if he can’t reach my level of cultivation, he can still practice the Five Elements Divine Transformation.”

A glint flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes as she thought to herself.

Chapter 174 Five Elements Divine Transformation! (Second Update)

"I understand! I will always remember your teachings."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

As expected of a Xuanmen master, his explanation of the arts and techniques gave him a sense of enlightenment.

"Young friend, don't rush to memorize it. I see that your true qi can be ever-changing. I intend to pass on a technique to you, which can be considered a kind of reverse transformation. With your aptitude, you should have no major problems."

This method is called the Five Elements Divine Transformation. You should know that the Reverse Rebirth Triple Transformation transforms oneself into Primordial Qi, which can evolve into all things.

However, besides myself, I doubt anyone else in my Sanyi Sect can learn this. My two foolish disciples, Mu Xuan and Jin'er, have a chance, though Junior Brother Chong's cultivation is sufficient, his comprehension is much worse.

"Young friend, could you promise me that if Sanyi ever faces trouble, you will help Sanyi and protect my disciples and followers?"

Zuo Ruotong raised an eyebrow and suddenly raised his fair, jade-like left hand.

In an instant, Zuo Ruotong's left hand suddenly transformed into Qi, and the next second, it dissipated like white clouds, and the shape of the hand could no longer be seen.

Extremely mysterious.

"Eh? Five Elements Divine Transformation? Wait, Master Zuo, you want me to protect Sanyi? This junior is still young, how dare I say I'll protect Sanyi?"
